Harrisburg is my home away from home away from home
(are you confused? Welcome to my world....)
so it was only fitting to have a bit of celebration there as well.
I drove in Saturday for a rehearsal and then Jody and Julie took me to dinner at the Macaroni Grill. We laughed a lot, particularly when a happy twist of fate (and a really nice waiter) landed me with two desserts. I indulged. (Happily.)
Sunday brought a spot of tea, which no birthday celebration would be complete without.
My friend Marina (on the left) and I share a birthday, so we invited our circle of friends to Jody's for a small celebration. It turns out that my poor planning skills (how come I can never seem to plan more than a week in advance?) meant that most people were out of town so it turned into a small gathering (the kind that suggests "spot of tea"....).
Jody was a gracious hostess, Liz and I finally took a picture together that made both of us look half-way normal, Kate enjoyed her first tea party with a gazillion smiles (the kind that only a baby can make), and Marina and I were happy to be aging another year.
Good friends, good times!

So apparently it was Birthday Happiness Part II - or at least the hours of Birthday Happiness Part II spent with your mother - that made the least amount of an impression, is that it? It was a WYETH exhibit, Lauren. WYETH - not Whistler! As far as I know Whistler only ever painted his mother - a woman who he apparently
appreciated!!
ha! That's hilarious. (And, I believe it's "whom"....)
;-) love you mama....
